Childish Gambino's Latest Music Video Has The World Talking

The political landscape in America is littered with fears over gun control, the Black Lives Matter movement, terror and fear.

And celebrities are taking a stand.

The latest is rapper Childish Gambino, who just blew us out of the water with his creative genius in his latest music video for the aptly titled "This Is America".

We're talking Taylor Swift level symbolism and detail - but with a much more politically charged message.

So much symbolism in #ThisIsAmerica 1. Guns are handled with care 2. The kids are following his every move 3. Travon Martins dad playing the guitar 4. Dance moves depicting americas shopping craze 5. The people recording on their phones. SO MUCH MAN!

At first look it's easy to be distracted by a shirtless Gambino (aka Donald Glover, you may remember him as Troy Barnes in Community) seemingly dancing around relatively unaware of the commotion behind him.

But look closely. It's as much a statement on the current state of America and its willingness to turn a blind eye, as it is a piece of artistry.

As [black] bodies are dragged away, guns are placed carefully on silk sheets, held seemingly in higher regard than those lives lost.

People are seen filming the commotion on their phones but not getting involved.

Me when I realized that gambino's dance moves distracted me from all the craziness happening in the background and that's exactly the point he's trying to make... #ThisIsAmericapic.twitter.com/ZlMxE2VwZV
